Trump losing support is nothing but a GOPe Media construct.

I get that same feeling too.

First, I think Carly isn't wearing well.

Second, it would be amazing if Trump had 37% in a field this crowded. I think at this point in the race support is a measure of the news a candidate makes, and Trump makes his as he goes along.

IOW, if his support was 37% I would expect the race to tighten until more candidates drop out. True not just for Trump, I would expect the same of any front runner.

Who knows as he fills in the details...Immigration, Second Amendment, now taxes. All much better than I could have hoped.

Yes. 37% last week of August. See my last post on how they played the narrative to make it sound worse for Trump.

How does Jeb manage to stay in the double-digits? If Perry and Walker were barely asterisks in the polls, by all rights Jeb should be even lower.

There’s also something fishy about a guy who can spontaneously announce a campaign appearance and get close to 10,000 people, and others who plan for weeks and can’t fill a ball-room.

None the less he is describe as losing support, and they are described as up and coming.

Bears repeating.

Trump now has three detailed position papers on his website. I don't see this level of detail on any other candidate's website (please feel free to point out to me if otherwise).

The three position papers are for the following:

Immigration
Second Amendment Rights
Tax Reform

I'm sure others are to rapidly follow. While we can nitpick at these positions all day long, I don't think any reasonable conservative can deny that these are not major steps in the right direction.

Forget about whether or not Trump had Hillary at his wedding and whether or not he said nice things about some liberal back when he was greasing palms and pulling political levers to get what he wanted with regard to his business interests. He admits that and he states that it is not the way things should be. So now he's going to go about changing the system so that our government works for the people and not for special interests, lobbyists and other pressure groups.

Ronald Reagan is not going to come walking through that door. We must choose a conservative leader who will have the ability to deconstruct the Republican Party that has failed us and rebuild it bigger and better than it ever was before. Donald Trump is the only candidate who has both the desire and the ability to actually get this done.

That NBC poll may be an outlier, but so is this one.

Say what you want, but the trend is clear. Trump hasn’t increased his support, and in most polls has lost support. I happen to think it’s because Trump has intense support but a limited ceiling. You can feel free to disagree.

The latest Fox poll has Trump at 26.

But if they figure that out they will prop up someone else that may get more support.

McCain won the nomination in 2008 with 33% of the vote. If Trump can hold on to a floor of 25%, he will be difficult to beat in a large field. He would have a distinct advantage in winner-take-all primaries.

Can Rubio, Carson, Fiorina, or Bush get as high as 20% let alone 25%?

Don’t disagree with you at all. There has been a decline in Trump’s support, but there has likewise not been a surge for anyone else. Carly is dropping slowly as well and Carson is treading water and down slightly. RCP is irritating because they will include a BS poll from NBC which samples 230
republicans or the Bloomberg poll with 391, but ignore something like Zogy or Morning Consult which have higher sample sizes.

Lets look at the latest state polls. And they mean more than silly that CoC WSJ/NBC poll.

New Hampshire for instance. What do we have here? ...Oh yes Trump has expanded his lead in an early primary state:

- - - - -
“Donald Trump holds a 10-point lead over Carly Fiorina in the latest CNN/WMUR poll.

The new poll finds Trump receiving 26 percent support from New Hampshire’s likely Republican presidential primary voters. Another 8 percent pick the outspoken billionaire as their second choice.

Those results are up from a similar CNN/WMUR sampling in July, when Trump received 23 percent support from the same demographic. ...

Carson receives 8 percent support while Bush and Kasich tie at 7 percent.”

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/254873-trump-leads-fiorina-in-new-nh-poll

- - - - -

And looky Dr. Ben faded to only 8%.

Trump has/is polling consistently between 25%-35%. Those that say he is down 7 from his high in the Morning Consult are ignoring that is up 6 from his low; therefore he is consistent. He’s polling double digits more than the competition. Any, and I mean any, of the other candidates would LOVE to have half the difference added to their #s. (Ask Rick Perry or Scott Walker. Heck, ask Jeb Bush!) Even with the supposed surges Carson, Fiorina and Rubio had, or is having (Wasn’t Carson in a statistical dead heat?) nobody else is even close...100+ days after he announced.

Yes, the conscience of an overly emotional Trump hater thinks that Trump winning by double the next competitor is a sign he is all done...

CNN polled NH in July and then again in September. You can’t tell anything about current trends based on polls that far apart.

Look at the realclearpolitics link I posted above. Where are you seeing consistent polling between 25-35%?
